Bestselling Author Kevin DeYoung Offers Hope for Those Who Feel Like Christianity Has Become Hopelessly Crushing and Complex
The apostle Paul described the Christian life as a race, but to many believers it feels more like a punishing obstacle course. Fearing they'll never be able to do enough or give enough or be enough, they see themselves as spiritual failures. But Scripture offers good news: even in ordinary life,...

Christians know the importance of prayer, but the act of praying can be a real challenge. Some have the desire, but not always the will, others worry they don't do it well.

Qui n'a pas déjà été trop occupé ? C'est une réalité qui nous rattrape tous à un moment ou à un autre de notre vie.
Nous n'avons qu'à consulter notre emploi du temps pour constater à quel point nous avons de la difficulté à mener une vie équilibrée. Pourtant, un rythme de vie complètement fou n'est pas ce que Dieu désirait pour nous lorsqu'il a envoyé son Fils pour que nous goûtions pleinement à la vie.

Sums up the victory of the cross in four words and explores what that means for us.
Freedom, forgiveness, justice, and purpose. We long for them in our lives and in the world. The cross delivers them!
